Salon De Co Takes British Tradition and Deliciously Breaks the Rules

Written by Chris Lee

It's true what they say, there's no rest for the wicked.

Following Salon de Co's new menu launch two weeks ago, the art deco inspired restaurant continues to impress, this time by injecting a whole lotta rock n roll to the Brisbane food scene.

Drum roll please.

Salon de Co presents, their Rock n Roll high tea spearheaded by head chef Andy Ashby, with support from creative culinary partner, Ian Curley. A tradition-breaking, weekend session-starting experience that will be center stage of every weekend, beginning April 27.

Saturdays and Sundays will see Salon de Co will take on the British tradition, and create a sweet and savoury menu using a combination of classical and innovative cooking techniques – but in true Salon de Co fashion, it's not high tea as you've seen before. Drawing on the eclectic design and bold attitude of the modern Australian restaurant, the menu jumps between traditional items and edgier morsels. Afternoons will be filled with Daintree chocolate lamingtons with Davidson plum; to Negroni and Whiskey Sour Pate de Fruit; English eye crumpets with Queensland spanner crab, macadamia & caviar; to tomato marshmallows.

“The spirited twists continues with offerings such as vegemite & cheese tarts alongside salt & vinegar churros. Why not make high tea a bit rock n roll? We love making the familiar, unfamiliar. Food should be playful, full of surprises and delights and be shared, going hand in hand with a good time. Brisbane, this isn't a high tea like anything you've had before.”, says Andy.

At Salon de Co's Rock n Roll high tea, you're further spoilt with three different two-hour packages on offer, every Saturday and Sunday 3-5pm:

Start Me Up $65pp
- Full high tea set inclusive of glass of champagne on arrival + tea & coffee
Welcome To The Jungle $75pp

The Final Countdown $95pp

Taste the goods, soak in the booze with the company of slick, spinning DJ decks, which will kick off the first Saturday high tea of every month. Everything goes here.
